The Appalachian women get another "go" at the Big South Conference soccer elite as Campbell's Camels (#2 in the Big South preseason poll) step onto the pitch at the Ted Mack for a 1 PM kickoff. This stacks up as another stern test for the Apps as the Camels present with a 26 player roster--only 3 of whom hail from North Carolina.

The Apps, on the other hand, count heavily on in-state recruits; only 5 of 30 Mountaineers hail from out-of-state.

Sadly, I think I see the handwriting on the wall, already. I'll gladly eat crow if the Apps play lights-out and even their early season record to .500.

Well, guess what? The Apps really did play lights out and gave the Fighting Camels a good thrashing. Final from the Ted Mackorell Soccer Complex and the ASU Soccer Stadium...AppState WSOC 3, Campbell 0. Way to bounce back, Apps. On a happy occasion like this, I'm pleased to have had my gloomy prediction shoved back in my face!

I've placed my order for BBQ of Black Crow and will chow down about 8 PM tonite.

Wow! After watching the HPU game, I really didn't think we could put three in the net.
